ft Calm age Sermon fly Rev. Frank De Witt Talmatfe, D. D. New York. March 29.—In this ser mon the preacher tells of the power of song as an influence on human life and character and especially of gospel song as a means of winning men from sin After suffering: for seven years, i t0 righteousness.

I had been away from home for many weeks and was very lonely and homesick. Furthermore, I was hungry for an old fashioned Christian service of the type of the American meeting house. I had been so long witnessing the European desecration of the Sabbath that I yearned for the sim ple service of my own home church. I entered the cathedral of Milan that morning hoping that my longing for worship might l>e gratified; but, alas, none of it was there! That huge ca thedral is capable of holding 40,000 worshipers. Thousands of people were in the building that morning, but only a little handful were seated about the pulpit. Most of the people inside the church were tourists wandering about examining a statue bore, a tomb there, a beautiful column beyond. Sick at heart. I turned away and began to climb the stairs which led up to the roof. Higher and higher I went until I seemed to have left the world behind. Alone I was walking upon those lofty writing her, and because of her amid the marble statues when vast experience she has helped sud(Jenl , st d short See mingly thousands.

A Talk About Music. Today. God willing, I want to lead you away from pulpit aud lectern. I want to lead joii away from altar and chancel and out of the church audi torium and have yon sit with me as I sqt that day upon the roof of the Milan cathedral and give your thoughts to the sweet sounds in which the church in all times has given praise to God. I want to have a little quiet talk with you upon the influence of gospel Bopg. And after this talk is ended 1 want you to go home and reverently take down your hymn books and gather your children about you and teach them to sing praises to God and utter iu tuneful words the love of Christ for all men. “And these are they whom David set over the service of song in the house of the Lord." Now, why did David appoint musi cians over the service of song in the temple? First, because music is a com bination of beauties in sounds, and no man can truly come to the higher Christian life until he learns to appre ciate the beauties of all God’s cre ations. God does not simply say to man, “I am God, creator and ruler;’’ but he says. “I want you to notico that I have made everything beautiful in its time.” Tims Jesus bade us look at the lily or the wild flower of the field and observe the care with which God had produced a masterpiece In colors.

Oh. the marvelous blending of colors in the leaf of one little daffodil! Then think of God’s architecture! What is the cathedral of St. Peter in Home, or Re cathedral at Cologne, or any of our architectural masterpieces, In comparison with the grandeur of the Alps or the beauties of the Grand canyon? God’s love of beauty shows Itself here, as It does In the flowers that are in these gardens again preparing to make the world a glorious garden. We know from all his works that he loves beauty and are sure that when we strive to make his worship sweet and harmonious with his gifi of voice and with musical in struments we are pleasing Win. Is not the voice of great congrega tion lifting its song ii. praise like the sound of many water; Have you ever noticed how many times the Bible tells us to sing the praises of God? Not once, but many times, is the com mandment given. “Sing" is the word. “Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord." When the time of worship which we spend in the Lord’s house is so precious, would God be willing to waste any of the time of church service in singing if music was not a divine means of spiritual grace? Yes, here after we must look upon music as a preacher. We must reverently consider our hymn books as second only in im portance tf> the holy Bible itself. God lias placed ins divine approval and in dorsement upon them. The Importance of Music. Why does God honor sacred music in the salvation of men? This fact should l»e easily analyzed when you open any hymn book and begin to sing the grand old songs which have come ringing down the corridors of the centuries. What is the keynote of nine-tenths— aye, ninety-nine hundredths—of the hymns which are sung? God’s wrath? No. It is God’s love. Of coarse there are some of the old hymns which con tain warnings to the sinner, but in nearly all the hymns that we love the central magnet of our affection is the story they contain of the cross aud God’s protecting care for his children. Hell and the terrors of future punish ment may lift their red lights of warn ing, but it is only the cross of Christ that can make men cling to God as a heavenly Father. Just read over the favorite songs of your hymn book and see if what I say is not true. And I Ins is the reason why the song which is sung after the sermon often does more good than the whole sermon, upon which Hie minister has expended weeks of labor. Why? Because the preacher too often wields the gospel bludgeon. He is bound to declare the whole counsel of God, and sometimes it must sound harsh. He says, “The end of sin is death, aud God will not by any means accept the impenitent.” Then some sweet throated songstress arises in the choir loft aud lifts up her voice in praise to him for his mercy iu redemption. As the sweet message of God’s love wings its way to the heart of the worshipers men say, “I will do this not because I fear hell, but because Christ died for me and lie- cause Christ loves me.” Was not this fact demonstrated in the great services of Dwight L. Moody? Moody and Sankey. No intelligent man can study the work of America’s greatest evangel istic prcaclK r unless at the same time lie follows the wonderful career of America’s most wonderfnl gospel sing er. “What do you think of the work of Ira D. Sankey?” 1 asked one of the greatest and most influential ministers of the west. "He is emphatically the messenger of gentleness. This fact was never lie tier illustrated than by comparing Hie work of a Moody and a Sankey.” "Great team that,” I said; “Yes. a great team.” Why? Because each man’s work supplemented the work of the other man. Moody was an earnest, conscientious preacher. Moody would stir an audience until men and women could see their sins marching before them in an appalling procession and they could realize the peril of their condition. Then Sankey would sing of the life line of the nine ty aud nine and the love of God touch ed the hearts of men until the whole audience would be melted into tears. Moody was essentially the plower aud the sower. Ira D. Sankey was the reaper. lie was the one who could soften the heart and make sinners feel the love of God by the power of gospel song. The plowing had to be done. Each man supplemented the work of the other man. Moody and Sankey formed the most potent evangelistic team of the past century. But there is another reason why gos l«'l singing lias been baptized by the Holy Spirit for the salvation of men. Gospel singing stimulates the worship er to do something for Christ. It is his part of the church service. The miu- Jstcr may be praying, but the members of the congregation may not be follow ing him in his prayers. While the min ister is preaching the solemn faced elder sitting before him may be plan ning how he is going to run his busi ness the next day. That was a quaint and beautiful compliment which Mark Twain gave to his minister some time ago. The great humorist met the preacher at the door of the church aft er the sermou and said: “My dear doc tor, you will have to make your ser mons more uninteresting or I cannot afford to come to church any more. Sunday morning in church Is the time I always expect to plan my week's work. You are preaching such inter esting sermons (hat 1 have to pay it- teution, and you must become more stupid or else I shall have to stay away.” But, alas, what Mark Twhlu spoke iu Jest is only too true of some Wsarers. Whether It is the fault of the minister or not, one fact Is certain: Many a merchant has planned out his business deals during the Sunday morning sermon, and many a tired mother has taken n short cat nap dur ing the long prayer of the Sunday morning service. But It Is so different during the time of gospel singing. It is the difference of doing something fpr Christ and sitting passive in your pew. Ths Group About tho Piano. Why did your mother have you chil dren gather around that piano to slug? Whnt wts her chief reason? It was to get you to do something good to keep you from doing something posi tively harmful. O friends, do not think that the time you spend with your chil dren singing is wasted time, If some parents would do a little less scolding and a little more singing with their children perhaps they might have just the same spiritual influence for good as had your sainted mother when she gathered the children about her every Sunday afternoon to sing the gospel hymns. But there is another truth which comes surging over me with over whelming power when I think of the divine purpose of sacred song. That is the thought that tho great hymnolo- gists have always been the gospel teachers who have been able to over leap all tho barriers of sectarian big otry and narrow minded creeds. If the great hymnologists have accom plished no other good at least they have taught us that Christ has many other sheep who do not belong to our sectarian fold. In olden times the Episcopalian rector would not allow the Presbyterian pastor to enter bis chancel. And the Presbyterian and the hard shell Baptist were just as bigoted in their way as their Episco palian brothers. But no sectarian big otry has been aide to monopolize the makers of sacred song. In the secta rian churches we have “spite fences” for every one except for our poets aud hymnologists. Head over, if you will, the biographies of the greatest of our gospel composers. They belong to all churches. Charles Wesley may never have been allowed to preach in Westminster ab bey, but bis great hymn, “Jesus, Lover of My Soul.” has been sung there a thousand limes. And Charles Wesley was a Methodist. Who was Hay Pal mer, the author of “My Faith Looks Up to Thee?” A Cougregationalist. Who was Horatius Bonar, the author of “I Lay My Sins on Jesus?” A Scotch Presbyterian. Who was James Montgomery, the author of “Hail to the Lord’s Anointed?” He was the son of a Moravian preacher. Yet all these singing evangelists, with their many different sectarian creeds, have their names and their hymns printed side by side in every church hymnal. The church of Bishop Heber may believe in apostolic succession for the pulpit, but it does not believe in apostolic succession for the choir loft, for Hen ry Newman the Catholic and John aud Charles Wesley the Methodists and Horatius Bonar are allowed to sing there even though they were not al lowed to preach there. Oh, why do wo not extend the hand of gospel fel lowship to all the members of the dif ferent churches as we extend the hand of Christian love to ail the sweet sing ers who bring to us their gospel songs? May God give to us a nonsectarian pulpit and pew as he has given to us a nonsectarian hymn book. No Ordination For Hymn Writers. But God honors sacred music for still another reason. The divine harmonies of sound place tho hand of holy ordina tion qpon all those who are willing to lift uG their voices in his praise. In Older to become a minister one has to spend years In study. Then presby tery puts him through the most rigid examinations to determine whether he is fit to preach. Some of my minis terial brethren may be iu doubt about letting him pass at that time; hut, though some presbyteries may make mistakes in allowing a candidate to en ter the pulpit when not properly pre pared, no such barriers can keep tho true gospel evangelist from singing the praises of God. Ira D. Sankey not only led thousands into the kingdom by bis tuneful voice, but he sent a host of singing evangelists to win other multi tudes for tin* cross. In other words, as the good Ananias was commanded to open tin* blinded eyes of Saul iu Da mascus, this modern Asaph has been ordained to loosen the dumb tongues of men who could have had no part in winning souls except by sacred song. The Most Powerful Music. And here let me state something which has been on my mind for some time. In order to preach the gospel by song a man does not have to be a master of classical music. All that he needs to have is a pure heart, clean lips aud an ordinary sweet, true voice, and when he sings the plain, simple gospel songs from the heart God will bless bis singing, even as he blesses the simple prayers that come from a devout heart. Mr. Beecher well formu lated this thought when he protested tn the following words against the Pharisaism of sacred song: “Music Is not simply a vehicle for carrying a hymn. It is something iu itself. No tune is fit to he sung to a hymn which would not l)e pleasant iu itself without words. In selecting music we should not allow any fastidiousness in taste to set aside the lessons of experience. A tune which lias always interested a congregation—which inspires the young and lends to enthusiasm a fit expres sion—ought not to be set aside because It does not conform to the reigning fashion and follow* the whims of tech nical science. There is such a thing as Pharisaism in music. Tunes may be very faulty iu structure and yet con vey a full hearted current that will sweep out of the way the worthless, heartless trash which has no merit except literal correctness. And when upon trial a tune is found to do good work it should bo used for what it does and can do. Congregational sing ing will never become general and per manent until the churches employ tunes which have melodies that cling to the memory and touch the feelings or the Imagination.” What did Mr. Beecher mean by nil this? I will tell you. A gospel hymn Is u sermon. A gos pel hymn Is a prayer. When you lis ten to a testimony in a prayer meeting you do not listen to oratory. You lis ten to a man pleading for Christ. When you listen to a gospel hymn, you listen to n disciple of Christ pleading for the Master in the same w*ay, and, though your vole*- may not be musical- AS SUCCESSFUL EAST AS IN THE WEST Cooper’s Theories Are Being Rapidly Accepted by Eastern People. L. T. Cooper, whose theory that the human stomach is the cause of most ill health and who created a furore in Chicago, St Louis and other western cities, is meeting with the same remarkable success with his medicine throughout the east. Cooper has convinced an immense number of people that his theory is sound and his medicine will do what he claims. Perhaps the most interesting fea tures of the discussion this young man is causing, are the statements made by responsible people who have taken his medicines and have become enthusiastic converts to his beliefs. Among statements of this charac- ter, the following, by Mr. August Wittmer, 1049 Rockwsll Court, Chi cago, Is characteristic of the wide spread faith In Cooper, which has grown up in a comparatively short time. Mr. Wittmer says: *‘1 wouldn’t take $1,000 and be in the condition I was three weeks ago. I was practi cally an invalid for fourteen years and think I had about all of the dis eases known. My stomach was weak, and at times I would have an enor- mous appetite, and then again none at all. Pie and cake made me sick; and I almost always had a sickening feeling In my stomach. I was ner vous, and for weeks at a time could not sleep, and then again could sleep eighteen hours at a stretch. Sleep; however, seemed to do me no good, and I would awake tired and more exhausted than when I went to bed, was constipated, had pains In my back, and flutterlngs and pains ip my heart. I was unable to worM with any regularity, and took no in terest in anything. I tried all Mud# of medicines and doctors, but none benefited me. I had no energy and no ambition, and had about concluded to give up when the Cooper medicine was recommended. Thanks to It, my health seems completely restored and I feel like a new man." Cooper medicines have created the greatest sensation of anything of the kind ever before introdnoed. We sell them, and will be glad to tt» plain the nature of them to our —Gaffney Drug Co. Min'd, yet when you sing God’s es iu a simple gospel song God bless you as he does when you :ri e to testify for him in a meeting of prayer. The consideration of this subject sug gests to me three practical lessons. First, I want to impress upon all Chris tian people that the church which does not put a great emphasis upon its mu sic is making a fearful mistake. ’’Why do you give out so many hymns in your prayer meetings and church services?” a friend said to me soihe time ago. “Because I cannot give out any more hymns,” I answered. ’ “i be lieve that the singing of a church is more important than the preaching. Indeed, 1 know that what I say is true, for many a church is existing in spite of poor preaching, but you never saw a strong church that did not have fine church music. Church members, be ware how you trifle with the music. Get the best hymn books. Ministers aud officers, prayerfully select the hymns that ail people can sing. Do not make your singing a mere accessory to the church. God is watching you when he says, “Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord.” The Church Choir. The next great fact to w hich I would call your atteution is that of your church choir. Sacred singing is an im portant part of church worship. There fore we should be careful whom we select as the members of our choirs to lead us in that song. It is essential that those leaders be living sweet, pure. Christian lives. 1 cure not how bril liant a minister might be. you would not knowingly select him for your pastor if you knew he was immoral or a drunkard. Why should not the same purity of life be required of the members of- our church choirs? It is a shame to see some people rising in the choir lofts to sing the most sacred words in our hymn books when every one knows that they are living lives that contradict the words they are singing. I have had men and women in my choirs who never made any pre tense to religion. These members of the choirs never attended prayer meet ing. They never put their foot inside the Sunday school. They did what they were paid to do, and they did nothing else. They sang psalm tunes on Sunday and, us far as I can make out, served the devil the rest of the week. God will never bless a church unless that church has just as pure and as consecrated a choir loft as it has a consecrated minister. Mark that. Lastly, 1 want you to get into the habit of singing gospel songs wherever you go. Leam-to sing gospel hymns on the street aud In your home w*hen you are dressing. Teach your chil dren to sing these songs in the same way. There is no easier way to spread the gospel and to show peo ple that you are standing for Christ than by singing about him when you are at work. Have you ever attended a great Methodist camp meeting? Then you may have been Impressed by the preaching. But I will tell you what you were mostly impressed with aud what has lingered longest in your memory, it was not the service iu the auditorium, but what took place after the audience was dismissed. Then the young people—I mean all those who were young in heart, and they all seem ed to lie young -formed in line and marched around »he grounds singing some old hymn like “Wo Are March ing to Zion. Beautiful, Beautiful Zion.” As they sang the very heavens seemed to join in the harmonies. Oh, how that music rings today in your memories! Like a great army the peo ple moved as they sang. Cannot you in the same way sing about Christ when you are at work? Like a great singing host let us move forward to capture the round world for Christ. There is a beautiful story told that many years ago when Jenny Lind was visiting tliis country she called upon her countryman. John Ericsson, but the famous inventor refused to see her. Ericsson bad a magnificent brain, but be was no respecter of persons. He declined to see her. Not to be put off. Jenny Lind sent up ber visiting card. She stepped to the foot of the stairs and began to sing one of the old Sjyed- ish lullabies with which the mothers in that f.'.roff land are accustomed to sing the children to sleep. At once the door of the inventor’s room opened and Ericsson came to greet his visitor, weeping like a child. The music had opened the door of his heart. So by singing the old gospel songs on the streets aud in the homos we can win multitudes for Christ. [Copyright, 1908, by Louis Klopsch.] Ths Moon and Mount Hood. Speaking of a recent moon effect on Mount Hood, the Portland Oregonian says: Perching itself for a few moments on tho very top of Mouht Hood, the big new moon illumined that majestic peak at 11 o'clock last night so clearly that its mantle of glistening white, toned to a soft yellow hue, could be distinguished plainly from Portland aud vicinity. Never before, says old time Oregonians, has the moon been observed to scale the summit so fairly and with such perfect balance as last night. The big yellow disk apparently could not have been more accurately adjusted to the top of the mountain. And as it passed on upward the top of the mellow circle burled itself in a big black cloud, so that no gj*ent stretch of the imagination was required to fill In the picture of an eruption from the peaceful old mountain. From an ar tistic standpoint the spectacle was one to be boarded in the fond memory, and those who saw it may regard them selves as having been peculiarly fortu nate. Every year the moon pays a visit to the big peak, but possibly not once in centuries would It climb to the precise central point on the summit and present a picture so perfect. A Bold Step.
